Custom website freelance
Pros: Custom and detailed.
Cons: Slow and expensive.
If money is no obstacle, this is certainly the way to go. Many large companies spare no cost to win the website design wars, much in the same way they try to outdo each other with the tallest and most ornate office buildings.
But you are here because you own a small business. You prefer (and probably need) to operate in a more streamlined manner. Nonetheless, many small businesses can afford to have a custom-built website. The price range is usually from $750 to $2,000 for a small business, such as a local plumber or electrician.
Business website template builder
Pros: Fast and Affordable.
Cons: Generic and time-consuming. Requires excellent writing skills.
You can purchase a generic website template and build your own small business website. These templates are pre-designed. They already have the look and feel built in, ready for you to fill in the content using a template form. Some will provide content, but that is rather counter-productive, since the search engines, like Google, are going to see those websites as having duplicate content because these template services sell the same template over and over, often thousands of times. You need your content to be original if you want to rank for your small business niche. If you do not have good writing skills, then you should not build your own website. Google uses writing assessment algorithms in the equation to rank content.
Do it yourself
Pros: Gives you the satisfaction of building your own.
Cons: Takes a lot of resources, both time and money. May appear too amateurish for a business website.
Build the whole website from scratch. But you know what? Few people do this anymore. If you already have HTML, CSS, JAVA, skills and software, and a few extra hundred hours then this may work for you. If not, then you better get hopping. You've got four years worth of web design skills to learn before you even start! Since you are reading this, my bet is you're probably more interested in running your business than getting a four-year education in web design.
